Product Description

This picture book guide was designed to help teachers make digital connections to literature. This guide focuses on summarizing, story elements, and author's purpose.

The guide opens with a link to a website that allows students to discuss their fears and phobias by posting them on a shared wall.

Five guiding questions are provided that can be the basis for whole class discussion or individual student essay response.

An extension idea is provided in the form of a website that allows students to create a comic to summarize the story, to describe the story elements, or to describe another fear.

The guide closes with the five guiding questions on three printable pages with plenty of room for written responses. An answer key is also provided.

Bonus: A free online version of the story is also provided!
